<p>This new version also includes progress on the new Google Maps object.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is still work to be done to complete this integration, but this object is now useable.</p>
<p>Finally, several bugs have been fixed</p>Publication of a first devel version for the future ffDiaporama 2.12013-12-13T07:49:19.768112+00:002013-12-13T07:49:19.657865+00:00tag:launchpad.net,2013-12-13:/+announcement/12261domledomhttps://launchpad.net/~levray-dominique<p>The development cycle for the new 2.1 version start now.</p>
<p>For this new version there are :</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a big modification of the engine (inclusion of ressources in the .ffd files)<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a big modification of the system for the translation<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now translations are no longer included in the installation packages.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When ffDiaporama starts the first time, it downloads translations from the web site. On start following, it checks on the web site if a new version of the translations are ready and then it downloads them from the web site.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2 new objects was integrated:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;image from clipboard<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It allows to paste image directly without using a file<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the main window -&gt; it creates a slide with the image<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the slide dialog -&gt; it creates a block with the image<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Google Maps map<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To produce maps using Google Maps<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the moment, it&#x27;s only available on the slide dialog -&gt; it creates a block with the image<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the future, we plan to create new slide models containing maps and add localization in ffDiaporama project settings</p>
<p>There are lot of things to do again. Not all is finished: for example, markers are not yet managed for maps</p>
